TO: Tariq Siddiqui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tariq, Sorry, but I do not have the time to educate you. However, if you are interested in the subject you may conduct a search under the name Jagdish Bhagwati, a Professor of Economics at Columbia University, and educate yourself. If you do, you will find the answer to the issue of jobs created in the US by foreign companies versus the jobs lost to US operations in foreign countries. The issue is one of free trade not minutiae like "outsourcing" and "insourcing". How does it make a difference to the jobs created why a company places a plant or business in another country?
In any case, your argumentative posts in favor of a posted question addressed to someone else are once again irrelevent because the US free enterprise system places no restrictions on US companies and how they and where they do business. ====================================================== > Since you seem to be unaware of all the foreign > companies that are placing their offices and plants in > the US, I will give you a couple: Toyota and Honda are > two that even you may recognize. The US has gained > far more jobs from foreign companies in the US than > the jobs that have been outsourced, many to India. And where are the statistics to back this argument? In any case, your argument is one that is deeply flawed. Toyota and Honda have set up factories in the US to meet the demand of the US market. They are not building the factories here to export cars/trucks back to Japan. Outsourcing is setting up factories and offices in India/China to serve the US market not the local market. -Tariq
